After hearing this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little strange, this kid became more and more indifferent.

He snorted, and immediately alarmed the two men and women. When he looked up, he found that there were two more people in front of him at some point, and the scene suddenly felt very awkward.

Ling'er's heart was pounding, and she said that the young master was speaking ill of the emperor behind his back, and this would end badly, but who knew that Zhu Tao didn't have the consciousness of "imminent death", so he said it naturally.

"Father, when did you come? Is there anything embarrassing?"

Hearing Zhu Tao's address, Xu Da felt that disaster was imminent.

Could this Zhu Tao be the son of a superior?Impossible, I have met all the high-ranking princes, but none named Zhu Tao.

Finally, after thinking about it, I was relieved, because the superior had adopted several adopted sons, such as Mu Ying, who was once called Zhu Ying.

This Zhu Tao, probably has the same background as Mu Ying. It seems that we should be cautious when dealing with Zhu Tao.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be displeased and asked, "You said the Ming emperor was really that ugly?"

Zhu Tao smiled: "According to Hai'er's estimation, these are all folk legends, and there is no basis for them."

"why?"

"The folks have long worshiped the emperor as a god, and it is said that only those with visions in the sky can create such a great achievement, but their imagination is unimaginable. Liu Bei was once said to be a gibbon with big ears by them, let alone others, I guess. , even if Zhu Yuanzhang was born with different phases, he still cannot transcend the scope of normal people, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be as absurd as they made up."

Seeing that Zhu Tao was only talking to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go on with your work, I just brought my entourage Xu Da over to have a look."

Seeing the two people continue to pollinate the flower, I asked what kind of flower it was.

"Oh, this is a new variety of orchid, called Phalaenopsis. My mother is simple by nature, and I don't have anything to nourish her. That's why I bred this new type of orchid to honor her old lady."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little warm in his heart, saying that Tao'er is really a filial child, which is rare.

"That's a good story, go ahead."

If this story continues, Zhu Yuanzhang led Xu Da to revolt, arrested the rich and unkind rich man, and stuffed his mouth with bullshit.

This is indeed true, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of some things in his youth, and couldn't help feeling deeply.

"If it weren't for the people of the Yuan Dynasty who disregarded the life and death of the people, how could there be thousands of miles of land and mountains in the Ming Dynasty today. The way of heaven is not close, and it is always with good people. This is a good saying."

After hearing the follow-up story, Xu Da didn't continue to vilify Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was relieved, so he intentionally or unintentionally brought up the matter of the squad leader in the experimental field.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang remember the purpose of his visit: "I heard that your cousin Taiping is now in charge of more than a dozen people, all of whom have become squad leaders?"

Zhu Tao smiled.

"I didn't say anything about my cousin's abilities. When these thorny heads saw him, they were even more obedient than obedient children."

Xu Da interjected.

"Master, since there is such a capable person, why don't we recommend him to join the army? I heard that Xu Dahui, the great general of the imperial court, knows people well, and he will definitely train this young master well."

But secretly remembered a name in my heart, Zhu Taiping, you are fine, fine!I can't deal with the adopted son of the superior, and can't deal with his cousin?

Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Tao'er, are Taiping and a dozen of his subordinates also in this shed?"

But Zhu Tao said disapprovingly: "Cousin and the others are in the No. [-] potato shed next door, and now these people are doing well."

Zhu Tao led Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da out of No. [-] experimental field and headed for No. [-] potato field.

It was the season of potato harvesting. Although it was in the open air, I could still hear the sound of busy work inside.

Without exception, entering this experimental field still required disinfection and changing clothes. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang himself consciously abided by the rules of this field, Xu Da naturally couldn't say anything else, and went into the field with the boss.

I saw some people in white overalls picking up the furrows with their plow sticks, and the big potatoes were turned over on both sides of the ridges by the plow.

The people behind are holding baskets and other things, and are filling them.

Xu Da picked up a potato, the largest one was like a dog's head, and the smallest one was like an adult's fist. He thought it was some kind of fruit, picked it up and took a bite.

Very crunchy, slightly sweet, mixed with some earthy taste, and no other taste.

So he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Although this food is not so delicious, compared with eating tree bark and grass roots in troubled times, it is considered to be in heaven."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "For common crops, only 400 catties of grain per acre of land can be harvested, but if this thing is managed well, it can produce more than 6000 catties. If there is such a thing in troubled times, why worry about people starving .”

Xu Da also said deeply, "You are right."

Zhu Tao, who followed behind, didn't say anything, but was just checking the working conditions of these workers, but when he saw that they were quite clean, he nodded.

At this time, a farmer came over to salute Zhu Tao: "Young master, are you satisfied?"

Zhu Tao nodded: "You guys are doing very well. This is my old boss. Come and meet me."

The farmer also saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and respected him quite a bit, so Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded. "Who is in charge of this field? So dedicated."

The farmer smiled very proudly.

"Young Master Taiping is in charge. He said that agricultural production determines people's livelihood, and it cannot be sloppy."

"I heard that some new workers have come here, are they still working?"

The farmer thought for a while and said.

"With Master Taiping in charge of these people, no one dares to be sloppy, but as soon as Master Taiping leaves, that man named Wang Tiehui and that one named Zhang Liang will start acting like monsters. Yesterday Wang Tiehui broke the hoe. Today Zhang Liang pretended to be limping, while Master Taiping was admonishing them over there."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked at each other. They knew who Zhang Liang was, but no one could figure out who Wang Tiehammer was, so they decided to go and have a look.

Zhu Tao specially asked the farmer to lead them to find Zhu Biao. Along the road, he saw that the potatoes in a ditch were split in half from the middle, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt distressed for a while.

"How good the food is so blind, what a crime."

The farmer next to him said disdainfully: "This is the duo of Zhang Liang and Wang Tiehammer. They have done good deeds. As long as Master Taiping doesn't look at them, the ditches they dig will be like this."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"Xu Da, listen, I don't care what the origins of Zhang Liang and Wang Tiechui are, I'll beat them up when I see them later, no one can get used to such a prodigal son!"

As the most loyal courtier of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da maintained a high degree of agreement with Zhu Yuanzhang at all times, and at this time he also felt that if such a guy who does farm work does not beat him hard, I am sorry for Lao Tzu's fist.
